We look at the division of 187256 by 87 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 187256.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 187 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 174 from 187.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 132 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 87 away from 132, we end up with 45.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 455 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 455 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 215.0
If we subtract 435 from 455, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 goes into 206 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2152.0
Deduct 174 from 206 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2152.3
Subtracting 261 from 320 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 590 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2152.36
Subtract 522 from 590 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2152.367
If we take 609 away from 680, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
710 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2152.3678
Subtracting 696 from 710 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2152.36781
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 87 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 530 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2152.367816
Subtracting 522 from 530 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 87 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2152.367816
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 14:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2152.36781609
Deduct 783 from 800 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 2152.36781609 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
